'The Scapegoat', 1856, (c1950). Creator: William Holman Hunt.

'The Scapegoat', 1856, (c1950). Scene inspired by the Bible: a goat on the salty shore of the Dead Sea at Osdoom with the mountains of Edom in the distance. The 'scapegoat' embodies the sins of the congregation - Hunt saw the Old Testament scapegoat as a parallel to the New Testament Christ whose suffering and death similarly expunged the sins of humans. Painting in the Lady Lever Art Gallery, Liverpool. From The Outline of Art, edited by Sir William Orpen. [George Newnes Limited, London, c1950].
